Hello! I have excitingly managed to fat-finger not only my own response to your comment on my site, but also your original comment. Sorry about that, it wasn’t personal haha! Thank you for reaching out, it was really nice to hear that you enjoyed reading my stuff. And it’s a good thing you ended up on Neocities rather than Neopets - you don’t know want to know what’s happened to Neopets…

I'm probably too old to be playing Meerca (sp?) Chase anyway (but then...). Anyway, I do enjoy digging through your site so I will surely sprinkle some random comments in the future :)

Hi and thanks for the follow. Btw: there's nothing simple about cacio e pepe, don't believe what people say! I've tried making it and ended up with A TERRIBLE MESS

My secret for cacio e pepe is to have someone else do the "stir rapidly to emulsify" step, 10/10 would recommend

A-ha! Shame I only find this out now that I'm done with dairy. It makes total sense.

Thanks for the follow and hello! Funnily, I also live in the north of England and just last night had a conversation along the lines of "should we move somewhere else like the Netherlands" : )

Life skills: it’s actually not legal to drink alcohol on public transport in Australia. But I am also a non-drinker

A sound policy. Here it's not allowed on public transport in London but it's not stringently enforced.

Just reread what I wrote 5 days ago. I meant to say it is illegal. Mind snap!

Just a heads up that Adonis Rogers' Dating Tips don't load ('Oops, we couldn’t find that playlist.'). Great, baffling reads otherwise!

Okay, Privacy Badger was blocking it. All good now :)

I was reading the 'favourites' page and that passage in Foucault's Pendulum was precisely the one that made me refuse to read it. Now I feel that maybe I was too hasty in dismissing it...

I’ve heard others say the same thing. But be patient with it. The first chapter sets up the story well and the rest is really intriguing. Eco can be a little heavy with erudition, but this is actually a lighter read than The Name of the Rose in my opinion.

Maybe I need to pick a better quote

And I’ve neglected that page for a long while. I haven’t even added Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series yet!

I think I was also quite young and judgmental when I first came across it. Will give this a real go at the next opportunity!
